Jacque, that sounds like the easiest option in order for me to test the device in-store (but at this stage I'm feeling very confident it will work to run Livecode apps). If you could put a simple 'hello world' on to dropbox and send me the URL off list, then I'll give it a go. The various

Hi folks, This is a question for those of you who have sallied forth into the world of Android development (or, who have at least considered it). When Livecode creates an app for Android deployment, what CPU architecture does Livecode compile for? My reason for asking is that I like the look of

Since the Tegra has an ARM processor on the system chip, then it would seem to fundamentally be an ARM processor. It is a rather amazing ecosystem where linux/google/ARM/nvidia/asus combine to produce something like that, which was probably never envisaged by any of them 10 years ago. It does
